Klappentext This book grows out of a five-year collaborative research project undertaken by the authors in East Asia. They have worked with firms and institutions in Korea! Taiwan! Singapore and Malaysia! to inquire into the micro-processes of firm-level organizational learning that underpin technology leverage in an industry such as semiconductors. The processes investigated are not specific to microchips! but can be seen working in one knowledge-intensive sector after another. Mathews and Cho argue that indeed these are the processes that will shape industrial evolution in the twenty-first century! not just in East Asia but in the developed world as well. Tiger Technology concludes with an important observation - that wealth can be generated just as much through management of technology diffusion as through conventional concerns with innovation! provided the institutions of leverage are carefully constructed. Zusammenfassung This book is the result of the authors' work with firms and institutions in Korea! Taiwan! Singapore and Malaysia! inquiring into the micro-processes of firm-level organizational learning that underpin technology leverage in an industry such as semiconductors.
